Let’s look at 5 ways you can optimize your website to speed up load time and keep things running as fast as possible.
Unless you need to feature really detailed work, most of the images you use on your website don’t need to be a high resolution. Since monitors don’t register images over 72dpi, it’s overkill to keep your images at a high 300dpi resolution that would be needed for print materials.
Many photo editing programs will have a setting called “save for the web” which compresses the image to use online without sacrificing quality. To optimize images that are already loaded into your website, you can use a plugin called WP Smush for WordPress websites. If you’re using a Content Management System (CMS) such as WordPress, you don’t want to clutter things up in the backend. Adding a lot of extra plugins can add needed functionality, however they also slow your site down. Review your needs and try to pare down any unnecessary scripts. One of the best things about WordPress is that is has a revision control, meaning if you make a mistake or want to revert back to an earlier version of the page, it keeps copies of those in the database. Although this is a great feature to have, they, along with old comment spam, extra drafts, and trash can clutter up your database, slowing load times. Web caching is temporarily storing your website files, images, and scripts in such a way so that they take a shorter time to load for your visitors.
By using a caching plugin, such as W3 Total Cache or WP Rocket, your pages, scripts, and files will be optimized to load faster rather than be pulled separately from each of the database areas, thus speeding up your page load time. Inexpensive, shared hosting is great when you’re just starting out and trying to keep to a budget, however as your site grows and your traffic increases, you may outgrow that starter plan.
You will pay a little more for this, however it is worth it if you rely on your website for your business.
